Bldg-Ustler-Restorat RestorationCelebration for KathrynChiconeUstlerHall March 1, 2004 1:00 p.m. UstlerThe Women’s Hall Gym was the first permanent structure at the University of Florida intended for campus-wide use. Originally conceived to serve as both an indoor basketball arena and an assembly hall, the gymnasium was built to reflect the needs of an expanding student body in the aftermath of World War I. “The New Gym,” as it was called, opened in 1919 after Gainesville citizens donated funds to overcome a budgetary shortfall. The excitement generated by the community effort led then UF President A.A. Murphree and the mayor of Gainesville to invite the New York Giants baseball team to use the new gym for spring training, and the team accepted. The audi- torium and gym became a focal point of campus activity. The building was designated the Women’s Gym in 1948 when UF officially became coeducational. It was used for general athletic purposes until 1979 when the Women’s Athletic Department moved into the Florida Gymnasium. The university received state funds to demolish the Women’s Gym, but an interest in preserving original campus structures prevailed. In 1988, the Women’s Gymnasium was granted protection under the National Register of Historic Places. A generous donation from alumna Kathryn Chicone Ustler in May 2000 allowed for today’s restoration celebration. The restored gym will be renamed Kathryn Chicone Ustler Hall, making it the first University of Florida academic building named solely after a woman. The 14,700 square-foot, three-level Ustler Hall will house classrooms, seminar rooms, and faculty and administrative offices for the Women’s Studies program. Once the restoration is complete, a garden will be constructed adja- cent to the facility. The Catherine A. and Mary E. Yardley Garden will serve as a greenway to connect this area to the heart of the historic cam- pus and will include a commemorative wall honoring many women asso- ciated with the university and the state.

Sullivan Dean, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Response...............................................................Kathryn Chicone Ustler 1961 Alumna Concluding remarks......................................................J. Bernard Machen KathrynChiconeUstlerKathryn Chicone Ustler was born in Orlando, Florida. Kay's child- hood was spent in the nearby town of Winter Garden. In the 1920's, her father had settled in Winter Garden and founded the citrus and real estate business that the family still runs. Kay graduated from Edgewater High School in Orlando and attend- ed Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri for one year. She then trans- ferred to the University of Florida where she was active in the Delta Gamma Sorority and earned a bachelor's degree in sociology in 1961. Kay's father, Jerry J. Chicone, Sr., was one of 30 organizers of the Gator Boosters program in the 1950's and a trustee emeritus of the organization. The north endzone Gator Booster offices are named after him. Her brother, Jerry Chicone, Jr., graduated from UF in 1956 and is a former president of Gator Boosters. Kay has one son, Craig, who graduated from UF in 1991 and is active in commercial real estate development, particularly in downtown Orlando. Both are involved in helping to make the Orlando community a better place to live. .

The overall goal for the Task Force was to provide recommendations to ensure that UF graduation ceremonies celebrate and are meaningful for all graduates. Throughout the Fall 2018 semester, the Task Force engaged in conversations with stakeholders, benchmarked with peer institutions, and brainstormed on how the University of Florida could elevate graduation to a level of preeminence. Through this process, we learned students want graduation ceremonies to be student-centric, celebratory, and accessible. Guided by a clear purpose and set of values, we believe graduation ceremonies at UF can strike a balance between tradition, efficiency, and most importantly, celebration. The full report will provide readers with the process, context, and outcomes of the six-month (August 2018 – January 2019) efforts of the Task Force. In order to provide transparency, the outputs of this Task Force are in the format of themes and recommendations. The “Themes and Recommendations” section provides a fuller explanation of each theme and the corresponding recommendations.

  • 1999 Historic Preservation Element
    110168D HISTORIC PRESERVATION ELEMENT DATA AND ANALYSIS I. THE VISION Gainesville is a place of long and rich history beginning as a railroad route stop halfway between Fernandina and Cedar Key and developing into a nationally recognized livable community. Historic preservation is recognized as a key component of the economy, character and appeal of the City and its neighborhoods. It has historically been integrated into the City’s governance and builds upon its past historic preservation achievements by continuing to make conservation of the City’s heritage an important priority. Until recently, the historic preservation movement focused on saving individual sites and neighborhoods without concerning itself with the broader issues of regional development patterns, suburbanization of retail and urban sprawl in general. The specific focus on buildings and neighborhoods was an understandable response to staving off demolition of significant buildings or fighting insensitive policies that undermined neighborhoods. As historic preservation efforts have thrived nationally and neighborhoods have revitalized, the focus has expanded. This includes a more holistic conception of concerns and issues that interconnect relate to downtown development, suburban sprawl, and environmental protection and sustainability. Historic preservation in a broader definition has become known by some as heritage conservation. This encompasses not just structures, sites, districts, neighborhoods and the prehistoric and historic archaeological sites but a more inclusive approach to history. Heritage conservation includes more intrinsic ideas like cultural landscapes and view sheds. The United States recognizes the interrelationship and the interdependency between sustainable development and heritage conservation. The built environment is the most sustainable one, embodying the energy of each piece’s creation.

  • Tau Beta Pi Florida Alpha University of Florida Annual Report 2014-2015 Fellow Tau Bates
    Tau Beta Pi Florida Alpha University of Florida Annual Report 2014-2015 Fellow Tau Bates, On behalf of the Florida Alpha chapter, we are pleased to present to you our 2014-2015 Annual Report. We hope that this report gives you a glimpse into the enormous growth and improvement our chapter has witnessed over this last year. Our chapter is thrilled to have completed the dedication of a bent monument, directly outside of the College of Engineering’s main office building—a great way to commemorate a fantastic year! Member involvement dramatically increased from recent years, likely as a result of dedicating a portion of the Tau Beta Pi Scholarship for Florida Alpha to a scholarship for active members. Chapter members and electees contributed over 3,000 hours towards our projects, an increase of 350 hours from 2013-2014! In addition, a total of 74 new members were initiated! The success of our chapter is the direct result of the 37 members that served in officer positions. These officers helped organize 91 chapter projects, including many great community service projects such as volunteering at Bread of the Mighty Food Bank, helping remodel an elementary school, and regularly cleaning up a local road through the Adopt-a-Street Program. One major focus for the year was expanding the established GatorTRAX program to include a local high school. Over the last year we held 4 GatorTRAX sessions at Eastside High School in addition to the 6 sessions held at the University. During the high school sessions we gave a short lecture about circuits before letting the students learn with a hands-on demonstration by using a Circuit Scribe kit.
